My kid got whitish yellow poop in the working? I am worried about it

A. Whitish-yellow poop in kids can have several causes, and it’s important to observe other symptoms. Here are a few possible reasons: Possible Causes: Dietary Changes – If your child recently ate a lot of dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) or had a high-fat meal, it could cause lighter-colored stool. Mild Stomach Infection – A minor stomach bug or viral infection can sometimes lead to pale or yellowish stool. Liver or Bile Duct Issues – If the stool is consistently white, pale, or clay-colored, it may indicate a problem with bile flow, which helps digest food. Malabsorption – Conditions like lactose intolerance or celiac disease can cause lighter stools, especially if accompanied by diarrhea or bloating. When to See a Doctor? If the poop remains white, pale, or clay-colored for more than a day. If your child has vomiting, fever, stomach pain, or yellowing of the skin/eyes (jaundice). If there is foul-smelling, greasy, or floating stool (a sign of fat malabsorption). For now, keep your child hydrated, monitor food intake, and observe the next few bowel movements. If symptoms persist, consult a pediatrician for further evaluation.
